NFL Notes: Greg Hardy, Mexico City, Bills, & Seahawks

Greg Hardy

The NFL responded to the comments made by Cowboys DE Greg Hardy earlier in the week after he was reinstated from his suspension.

“I couldn’t disagree more with Greg Hardy’s comments, and they do not reflect the values of the league,” NFL V.P. of social responsibility Anna Isaacson said, via NFL.com. “We are working hard to bring attention to the positive role models many other players represent and also to continue our education with all members of the NFL family. . . .

“We spend a lot of time at the NFL educating our players on domestic violence and sexual assault. That’s what we control here, we control education. We control training, we control all the league does from a public perspective and public service, working with non-profit organizations. We can control that. So that everyone in the NFL family has the services and resources that they need if they need help.”

Mexico City

Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports reports that there was a “very strong sense” among NFL teams at the owner’s meeting that a regular season game will be played in Mexico next season.

The NFL will still need to find a team willing to part with a home game to add to their international series of games, but it sounds like there’s enough support to make this happen.

“It’s going to happen next year,” one high-ranking club official told La Canfora, “we just don’t know which teams it’s going to be yet.”

La Canfora notes the Raiders, Steelers and Cowboys are among the most popular teams in Mexico.
